Robin St. Clair Rimington Hardy (2 October 1929 – 1 July 2016) was an English author and film director.
Hardy died on 1 July 2016; he was survived by his fifth wife, Victoria Webster (married 2000), and eight children.
[1][6] Hardy had expressed interest in producing a finale to his loose Wicker Man trilogy titled The Wrath of the Gods.
In 2015, a crowdfunding campaign was set-up to raise funds for the film's production,[7] but ultimately fell short of its US$210,000 target.
[8] The Wicker Man enjoys "cult" status among horror fans,[9] and inspired a 2006 remake starring Nicolas Cage.
